The Lubumbashi based carrier is now left with a single Boeing 737-300 which Allard claimed, was better suited to the Congolese market and to its Johannesburg route.

"We ended 2012 with a monthly growth rate of 20 percent, both for utilization and regarding ticket revenue," said Allard in an interview with the Belga press agency. "In both Kinshasa and Johannesburg we have won a decent market share."

Korongo
is 70% owned by Airbel, a Belgian holding company, which in turn is
owned by Brussels Airlines (49.5 percent) and Forrest Group (50.5
percent), a group of companies founded in the Belgian Congo in 1922 and
active in the civil engineering and mining sectors. The remaining 30
percent in Korongo Airlines is owned by local Congolese investors.
